Matsya-avatāra: The Lord as Fish Saves the Vedas and Guides Satyavrata
तमूचुर्मुनय: प्रीता राजन् ध्यायस्व केशवम् । स वै न: सङ्कटादस्मादविता शं विधास्यति ॥ ४३ ॥
tam ūcur munayaḥ prītā rājan dhyāyasva keśavam sa vai naḥ saṅkaṭād asmād avitā śaṁ vidhāsyati
喜んだ聖仙たちは言った。「王よ、ケーシャヴァを念じて瞑想なさい。主はこの迫り来る危難から我らを救い、安寧を整えてくださる。」
This verse advises meditating on Keśava (Lord Viṣṇu), affirming Him as the true protector who can remove peril and grant auspiciousness.
Because the situation was perilous and beyond ordinary means; the sages direct the king toward divine remembrance and reliance on Viṣṇu as the ultimate savior.
In crisis, steady the mind by remembering and praying to the Lord—through mantra, japa, or focused contemplation—then act responsibly, trusting the Lord to arrange the outcome.
